The Etruscan revival period of the late 1800s was inspired by the findings of archaeological digs in and around Rome. The Etruscans inhabited the area before the Romans did! The ancient jewelry being found was marked by gold granulation, filigree, and classical cultural themes.
This Etruscan revival brooch has a round open area of gold granulation at its top and bottom while its left and right sides are accented by a solid and elaborate filigree pattern. The piece's center, which is flat and raised, contains a European Cut diamond set inside of an eight pointed star.
The back of this brooch has an oblong oval shaped glass window that detaches, allowing for storing a memento, such as hair or a photograph. The frame's fit is very tight and this piece is in overall very good condition.

The Scale
Virtual Try-on Info.
When visible, the Virtual Try-on button (located above the Add to Cart button) lets you see this piece at true size beside a US quarter, a ruler, or a credit card; on a model's hand, ear, wrist, or lapel; or on you, using just your phone or computer. No account or app is needed.
Every piece is measured and checked by a person before it gets the button, and the size shown is calculated from that measurement. On the model views, the hand wears a size 7 on the ring finger, the wrist is 6.5 inches around, and the ear is an average adult ear. On you, the scale comes from the ring size you enter or from a bank card in the photo.
Your photo is processed in your browser and is never uploaded to us. New pieces receive the button within a few days of being listed.
How to Wear with Care
Jewelry is meant to be worn, but it's also an expensive ornament. Here are a few suggestions to extend the life of your jewelry:
- We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or another trusted jeweler every six months.
- You should remove your rings before swimming or performing any household cleaning, as harsh chemicals can interact with precious metals and permanently damage some stones.
- Generally, we suggest that you do not wear your jewelry to the gym, in the shower, at the pool, or while sleeping.
